If you've got a freewheel/screw-on type hub, get a ACS Claw freewheel. They are pretty loud.

take it off, pour petrol on it, it will dry out all the grease and make it loud
your loud free wheel will now last a week untill its fucked
Making a freewheel louder means you're also compromising something. Be it adding extra spring tension which leads to fatigue, extra wear from lack of lubrication or some other silly thing you're just going to wear out or wreck parts trying to look cool.

Thats the best idea ive herd in years;)
If you have a cassette: http://www.bmx-forum.com/58647-howto-make-your-casette-louder.html
If you don't, and you have some cash, get one, it will be worth it.

Extra spokey dokeys to simulate noise?
I've heard a few people talking about loud hubs lately.
Is it the blow off valve of the bike world?
Seriously explain it to me.

Nah its the ridiculously big sub in the back of the car that makes your number plate vibrate, and makes you think that youve got a chance with the chicks on the side of the road :)

I also want a louder freewheel... Is it true that you can get an acs claw thingo with the cassete type of mount? Not entirely sure this makes sense...
ps. i dont want to compromise my hub...
Sorry to take over the thread, just a quick question about drivers. I'm thinking of getting a new ones when I order my other stuff off empire. If you have a no-name cassette hub, (the one stock on fit flows) then what driver do you get, there appears to be different ones compatible with different hubs.

Just get a Turbospoke. (http://www.turbospoke.com/)
i cant belive i took the time to write back to youI can't believe I gave good natured and well informed advice in a thread where I knew it would be overlooked. But hey, modify your parts for trivial reasons at your own peril, it won't be me with a prematurely fucked freewheel :cool:
ps. I support Dicky's TurboSpoke reccomendation, it's the only way to make your bike louder with style without compromising your parts through modification.

"really?" asked Thomas "he got the one way express to ban-central"
"yes, he sure did" said the other trains.
"put a dick in your mouth"
I don't think so, ball-sack! Change your ways, learn the rules and write in actual English when you get back or the three day ban gets made permanent.
Have a nice day.:)
EDIT - And now that I've had a good look back through your post history you're getting an extra 2 days just for being even more stupid and rude than I originally thought you were.
